5. Recent data collected by Pioneer show 38.2% of plots planted with the X19 seed formula exceed expected yields, whereas 12.8% of plots planted with other formulations perform similarly. During last year's crop cycle, 27.3% of plots used the X19 seed formula. Given that a randomly selected plot exceeded expected yields, what is the probability it was a plot that used the X19 seed formula? 6. When Persianese manufactures a rug, there are an average of 0.35 minor blemishes per rug. During a recent production run, what is the likelihood it takes less than five rugs to find the first minor blemish? 7. Suppose the number of peanuts found inside a peanut shell obey the probability distribution shown below: # peanuts 1 2 3 4 probability 0.032 0.813 0.143 0.012 Calculate the expected number of peanuts inside a random shell. Interpret the result. 5.
